living in: chocolat

It doesn’t take much deep thinking to realize that living in a French chocolaterie in 1959 would be a good idea. Let’s pretend it was just a normal chocolaterie that wasn’t ridiculously cute and full of Johnny Depp — still a good idea. But because the preceding facts are also true, Chocolat is a no-brainer. I mean, do I even need to write the second paragraph to this post? Did you read the part about chocolate? And Johnny Depp? My work here is done. — Amy Merrick

A friend forwarded your link! Love your post! Love Johnny Depp (Who doesn’t)! But most of all we love Chocolate!
We just had to live the dream, so we created Shabby Chocolat!
Thank you for sharing the passion, a lovely read with lovely photos!

“I’ll be back to fix that squeak in your door.” Wink. Sigh – oh, Johnny! Love this post!

Sorry you didn’t find any of the classic scoop/boat neck dresses Ms. Binoche wore in this role – so perfectly feminine and Womanly – capital WO! I don’t have the figure to wear a dress like that, but I think I would keep it in my closet to inspire me every time I open the doors.

The other thing I love about this film is the cinematography of the food and chocolate preparation. It looks so good you want to run head first into the screen to slide across the marble table where they temper the chocolate. And Alfred Molina – when he first tastes that tiny bit of bittersweet chocolate and goes on his cackling, crying binge – genius!
